A Zipless Life (A Book Review)

Fear of Flying - Erica Jong B-
It has been 40 years since the initial release of Fear of Flying, and unfortunately I don't think it stands the test of time like another novel I recently finished, Sylvia Plath's - The Bell Jar. That being said, I can understand why this novel was so controversial in 1973. I can also understand how it brought female sexuality and femininity to the forefront of social consciousness. However, protagonist Isadora Wing doesn't seem as vital in 2013.
